Curls. | Minneapolis Photographer |

Yes.  I am very partial to curls.  Hee.  I might just be a bit biased though since I have a whole head of them myself.  But I have to say this little guy’s curls are pretty adorable, right?  And when his mommy pulled out the seersucker suit and little tie…I almost fainted.  Love it!

Miracle. | Newborn Photographer |

Look at this sweet baby boy.  Perfect in every way.  Brand new.  I look at him and see possibility.  He can be anything he wants to be.  The future is wide open.  New life.  New hope.  A miracle.

For Me. | Lifestyle Photographer |

Sometimes I just need to shoot for me.  I love photographing my clients…don’t get me wrong.  But even though I am having fun…it is still work .  When I shoot for myself I can be wild and uninhibited.  Break all the rules and not care.  The only one I have to please is myself and…

I love them they are so mysterious, you want to see more and read into them, ‘who is she ?’ also springs to mind. The water is my favourite too x

angela meyer - July 8, 2010 - 1:27 am
